Crosslinked shrink film is available in a wide range of gauges

If you’re looking to protect your products and keep them pristine for sale, a high-quality shrink film is the way to go. However, not all shrink films are equal. In fact, the type of shrink film you choose can make or break how well your product is packaged. For the best results, opt for a crosslinked shrink film that can provide your goods with a strong hold and even better appearance than standard polyolefin.

Crosslinking is a process in which different molecules within the film are joined together to make it stronger and more durable. This makes the film more resistant to puncturing and tearing and allows it to retain its shape after it’s been stretched or folded. This makes it a more effective choice for packaging products with sharp edges or corners. Additionally, it can help to prevent tampering and theft, conceal smells, and extend the shelf life of various products.

Another great feature of cross linked polyolefin is that it can be printed with a clear surface so you can add branding, logos, or other graphics without ruining the product’s appearance. This can help to improve brand recognition and increase sales for your company.

This type of shrink film is also highly versatile, compatible with all L-bar sealers and tunnels. It can be used to wrap a wide variety of boxes, containers, and other products and has a high shrink force that ensures a tight fit on all surfaces. The film is also water-resistant and can withstand a high amount of heat without cracking or melting, making it an excellent option for protecting fragile products.

In addition, a cross linked POF film can reduce product fogging and moisture vapor transmission rates. This can be helpful for companies that sell products that require refrigeration, such as food or beverages. Additionally, it can help to protect products from the elements, including rain or snow, and make them more appealing to consumers.

Other benefits of a cross linked shrink film include less residue and higher clarity. Less residue can save money and time by reducing the need to replace sealing wires and blades. The clearer film is more attractive and provides a premium look to products on store shelves.

Crosslinked shrink film is available in a wide range of gauges, from the thinnest 60-gauge rolls to the thickest 55-gauge films. Choosing the correct thickness for your application is key to getting the most out of this type of film. For instance, a thicker 60-gauge roll is more suitable for heavier products than a thinner 45-gauge roll. Additionally, larger rolls allow for fewer machine changes and more production time per shift.
